I like reading interesting things and articles about topics that you don't always find around. That is also how I ended up finding this list of five interesting habits that Pablo Picasso had.
Five interesting Picasso habits.
Collecting items: Picasso had a fascination with collecting all sorts of objects, including cigarette butts, old pieces of metal, and other discarded items. He would often incorporate these found objects into his artwork.
Painting at night: Picasso was known to work through the night and sleep during the day. He believed that working in the quiet of the night allowed him to focus better on his work.

Wearing the same clothes: Picasso had a habit of wearing the same clothes for days or even weeks at a time. He believed that wearing the same clothes helped him to maintain a constant mindset and focus on his work.
Keeping his nails long: Picasso's long fingernails were a signature feature of his appearance. He believed that they helped him to be more sensitive to the world around him and to better manipulate his art materials.
Eating certain foods: Picasso was known for having particular food preferences, including a love of seafood and a dislike of garlic. He also had a habit of eating the same meal every day for weeks at a time.
What do you think? I believe wearing the same clothes is kind of cool, I now have an excuse not to change clothes for weeks the next time my wife asks... (or maybe not)?! Or painting at night? If you can sleep at day, there is absolutely something about the quietness of the night. But it is hard if you have a full schedule at day and then need to stay up at night.
